Seemed like a better idea than putting it elsewhere. Where do you think I should have put it?

When are they being removed, they are as redundant and ******** as Learning skills were.
This game is not WoW, we do not NEED attributes in this game.
…aside from creating choices, cost/benefit decisions, and long-term planning. All of them good things.

Unlike learning skills, they are not a pointless meta-mechanic that makes it more effective not to play the game for the first few months. The two are not particularly alike.


And what choices do attribute implants give you?

Train fast or train slow?

Pfft...

I'd rather have my system.

Everyone trains at the same speed and uses PVP implants instead.

I'd much rather blow money on PVP implants in the first 5 slots than learning implants.

Not to mention that high sec mission runners can just have a +5 set forever with no risk and they never lose it.

What's the matter, are all the mission runners afraid that they won't make boat loads of ISK by getting implants with LP and selling them anymore?


Learning implants aren't a great mechanic, agreed. No reason to tie remaps into removing them.

Remaps reward long term planning etc. Remaps are good.

Attribute implants tend to discourage suicidally fun behavior (and PvP in general). They do have a certain amount of giving you a reward for taking a risk, but I honestly don't think it's great to reward risk with SP (especially since the primary result is some serious risk avoidance).
